Taking to X, Goyal shared snapshots from his meeting with Gor, captioning them: ‘Delighted to attend Sergio Gor’s welcome reception at the US Embassy in India. With the India-US trade pact in place, our strategic partnership is set to scale new peaks.’
The evening attracted an eclectic mix: Indian well-wishers, the diplomatic fraternity, industry titans, and US stakeholders. Alongside the ministers, over 75 ambassadors added to the event’s prestige.

As we advance our new trade structure and strategic alliances, the spark lies in these personal encounters—nurturing trust, sparking ideas, shaping our shared destiny. To boundless India-US opportunities!’
Grateful nods went to Goyal, Jaishankar, and the numerous envoys. In his remarks, Gor pointed to the Trump White House’s India-centric approach. He lauded the Modi-Trump camaraderie for enabling the interim trade agreement.
‘Just over a month in, and we’re diving into action,’ Gor said. ‘India is front and center at the White House. President Trump shares that focus, and it’s the bond between him and PM Modi that’s delivered our trade deal.’
Set against a backdrop of global uncertainties, this reception underscores the resilience of the India-US alliance. Trade frameworks are evolving, strategic dialogues intensifying, and mutual interests converging. As Gor settles in, expect accelerated momentum in bilateral engagements, from commerce to counter-terrorism, fortifying ties for the future.
